You sure he didn't swipe that from Karl Rove?

Love Rahm Emanuel.
It's like having Ari Gold running the White House.


/yeah, I know. His brother....

No, no, no. Karl's was "Baby eating fat fark".

Hey, he's not the first. Josh Bolten also told Congress to go fark themselves.

So much for the buck stopping anywhere near him.

He'll always be the Chief Knob-Gobbler.

I just read the article linked FROM the article. Rahm Emanuel seems like an awesome guy. From said article:

When Emanuel was a teen-ager, he lost half of his right middle finger, after cutting it on a meat slicer--an accident, Obama once joked, that "rendered him practically mute."

That made me LOL.

He could sign America to do Aquaman 2?

I like the comment at the bottom. ! month of Obama's policies have given him huge losses in his retirement.
No, nothing's been going on for the past several years, it all happened after January 21st.

If you dig through youtube there's an event where Obama roasts Rahm. That's where the joke is from. And the rest of the roast is pretty funny too.

The comments on TFA are hilarious. Apparently, its already Obama's fault that the stock market is in the toilet.

The Obama Administration has certainly said that to investors. Glad to know there is an actual department overseeing that.

While I can certainly appreciate any appeal against reckless and obscene luxury, especially in the face of the current economic climate...

You ARE aware of how ridiculous it is to criticize the luxury found in one of the most prestigious residences in the country, which quite often plays host to dignitaries, heads of state, and other extremely high VIPs, right?

"Oooooh, look at Mr. Fancy Pants in the White House! I bet he has arugula in his fancy big house! Oooooh, he must drink microbrews and shops at Whole Foods!"

Especially after the arugula hilarity last year... kinda falls flat these days.

 
happydude45 2009-03-05 10:46:22 AM  
Now that's classy. It surely fits with the Lib attitude.

Oh, imagine the possibilities

That was brilliant. When I saw Jim Kramer practically crying because Obama wasn't governing based on the stock market, I thought I was going to die laughing.

We need a Russian Ambassador of Don't fark With Us, A Bi-Partisan Committee Chair for the advancement of the shutting the fark up and quitting of the whining, and a Department of Defense division of Quit farking this shiat Up.

It was honestly farking painful (and was, frankly, a segment that deserves a farking Peabody).

Anyone who says that TDS's jokes write themselves needs to realize how much research and tape-sifting they must do to be able to distill two years of farking CNBC footage into a few minutes of utter, crushing failure that can be understood and appreciated by any viewer.

Forget that, man. You want ridiculous? Most folks who bash Obama as being an elitist, fancy lettuce eating snob use the other side of their mouths to bash anyone who does not want to be a CEO. Fark fancy lettuce. They want one thousand dollar bottles of wine and one hundred dollar steaks. I can tell these people don't know any of the executives they are so quick to exalt.

(And FWIW, while most of the executives I have worked are sociopaths, some are great people who really care about their work and the people under them.)
